Volcanic Iceland guest speaker

'Iceland: The
land of fire and ice'

Iceland is a truly magical, other worldly country. Only two hours flight from the UK it is Europe's closest wilderness.
Iceland is the country that shouldn't exist: recently created from volcanic seafloor that has breached sealevel, it is not part
of any continent. It is still torn apart by the volcanic activity and eruptions that created it, giving rise to landscapes and features that
are hard to find anywhere else. Icelanders have learned to live with their geologically turbulent country, despite devestating
natural disasters.

With my experience as a guide to
the volcanic wonders of Iceland,
I use my geological expertise to provide insights to this
astonishing other-worldly wilderness, where NASA trained due to the
resemblance to the lunar landscape. I will also explore modern day Heimaey (the 'Pompeii of the North') to look at the impacts of the 1973
eruption that almost destroyed the island.

“I am writing on behalf of our Society to thank you for coming to Clacton Arts & Lits
and giving us such an interesting and entertaining evening. I personally enjoyed it very much and
I think I can say on behalf of all our members that they did to. I was also grateful that you were so
patient meeting our committee and members, it was a pleasure to have you with us and I hope you enjoyed your time with us too.
You are a natural public speaker with a relaxed and friendly presentation manner. Our audience of over 750 were enthralled throughout
and have asked for a return visit.”
